Classic gaming on Android?

Somebody really needs to make Nintendo Switch-style controllers for phones that clip on the sides. Surprising they don't already exist.

 

Until then, I have a standard game controller with phone clip, but that sounds too bulky for your needs.

 

GamveVice has been a thing for a while, from before the Switch was made public.

Their website: https://gamevice.com(yes there's an Android version now)

 

They just launched a bundle with mobile Minecraft. http://toucharcade.com/2018/02/15/gamevice-just-launched-a-89-95-minecraft-bundle/

 

One of the things I like best about my modern devices is that they don't look like toys, and they fit into small spaces, so this isn't for me, but it would seem they've been around long enough to find an audience.

I think you say so because you can't figure how bad the broblem is. A screenshot may help. The "game" menu is that small rectangular blob of pixels on top of the simulated controllers.

Turn it sideways.

I did a little more research on these ... still expensive, and don't have great reviews, but I forgot the most interesting thing: Gamevice SUED Nintendo for taking their idea. This is from August 2017, so I don't know if it went to court or if they settled.

Circumstantial evidence: Gamevice is still in business, and bundling things, so maybe they got some Mario bucks to stay alive?

I got a free moto mod projector when I bought a Moto Z last year. I projected the Activision Anthology on the wall and used a bluetooth controller which was kind of cool.
